Video rendering...what can speed this up? - GoFuckYourself.com

vittle · 12-16-2005, 11:27 AM

I'm using soney vegas for editing but when I go to render a 30 minute vid it takes about 2 hours. Any idea on how to speed it up? Video card upgrade?

Seems right ...

Faster CPU and more memory will decrease rendering time, but not that much really ...
I have a box doing just that ...

Rendering from a 55 gigs avi to a mpeg2 ( dvd ready) file takes about 10 hours on a XP athlon 3400 ...

Ive got a dedicated box doing it too... load new vids once every 3-4 days and let it run... only 8 years left til its finished!

what are the specs on your editing machine?

NoWhErE · 12-16-2005, 11:45 AM

There's no magic trick.

Only more CPU power really.

Oh, but while you're rending, turn off most progs on your computer, that could speed it up a bit.

beef up ram
vid card
processor
and close all other programs running in background
i use enditall its a good program to close a buncha shit
it knows what you need and dont need open

and the fuller the harddrive gets it will slow down also

vittle, that is actually pretty fast for a 30min video. There are some good points in this thread including more CPU, and turn off as many programs as you can that are running in the background while you are rendering.

Usually when I do it I let a batch run overnight and hopefully they are done in the morning. I think it is just a home PC thing. They CAN render video no problem, but were not built specifically to do it.

build out a quad proc systems, or atleast a Dual Xeon box for faster rendering. Xeons come in Dual Core with big cache, so dualing xeons is alot like 3 Procs in a system performance wise.

I'd make sure I had atleast 4-8gb of ram and a high speed SATA raid for disk speed to get some good performance. Then there is OS choice, some people swear Macs are still faster and then some people I know are using Linux setups to do batch renders. But then again, Pinnacle 10 for Windows now can edit in HD, so

justfreemovies · 12-16-2005, 12:00 PM

the more you are doing to the video slows it down too

bigdog · 12-16-2005, 12:13 PM

if you got to do mutiple files, best to get multiple computers to spread it out

vittle · 12-16-2005, 01:50 PM

Thanks for the info guys! I'm buying a new computer today just for video editing.

Looking at the
Sony® VAIO® RB52
VGC-RB52

Intel® Pentium® D Processor 820 with HT Technology1
Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Update Rollup 2
1GB RAM and 250GB hard drive3
DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+-RW drive2 with Click to DVD? software

good choice for the price? its around 1000 bucks

rendering HD takes a whole lot longer than dv.
